Question 1

I was recently diagnosed by an ent dr with a papilloma one on my uvulva and left tonsil. i was told to either surgically remove both tonsil or remove by incision the tumor. i'd like to know if its better to choose the 2nd option??

Accepted Answer

Papillomas typically arise off the membranes of the oropharynx and oral cavity and can be easily removed from the tonsil tissue without requiring a tonsillectomy. The procedure is much simpler and, unless you’ve had lots of problems with your tonsils necessitating removal, tonsillectomy is unnecessary and carries higher risks and a much longer recovery.

Question 2

I have what i believe is a tonsil papilloma with throat pain hoarse voice and earache and recently night sweats reason to worry about tonsil cancer?

Accepted Answer

What you are describing is concerning.  I recommend follow up with your physician.

Question 3

Have what i believe to be a tonsil papilloma experiencing earache, tooth pain night sweats sore throat hoarse voice..reason to worry it's cancer?

Accepted Answer

Tonsil papillomas are viral infections, but they do not explain the tooth pain. Hpv types 6, 8, 11, and 13 are known to increase cancer risk.  Your symptoms as indicated do not indicate cancer, but typing the kind you have and going for biannual oral cancer screenings are wise in order to prevent or identify early conditions. The tooth pain could be something else. Get evaluated by a dentist.

Question 4

Could a papilloma in my mouth (on uvula) mean this is hpv?

Accepted Answer

Some oral papillomas are triggered / caused by hpv infection.  Studying the papilloma under the microscope and/or using molecular testing for hpv genetic material (dna) would help to determine if hpv is the cause of a particular papilloma.

Question 6

What to do if i may have a papilloma dangling off of my uvula in my mouth. is this hpv?

Accepted Answer

Some (but not all) oral / oropharyngeal papillomas are caused by hpv.  The best way to determine whether or not a specific lesion is hpv mediated is to have it removed and studied in a pathology laboratory.  Having it removed will also help to ensure that there are no precancerous (dysplastic) changes or malignancy present.  Hope this helps.

Most people with hpv have no issues at all; however most cervical cancers some oro-pharyngeal cancers are related to hpv, in addition to warts etc. You can pass it on to your contacts. You are just above the age for vaccination, but you should get your children esp, girls vaccinated. See this for more info.
